Author of middle grade novels Sweet spot: literary fiction |
My favorite question is, “What do you recommend for building a newborn’s first library?” In addition to board books for babies, I love literary fiction, nonfiction about nature & history, and memoirs. |

I read literary fiction, essays, some short stories, memoirs, history, and true crime. I’m drawn to stories set in the West, about women’s interior lives, refugees, and literature in translation. |
I'm an audiobook listener, and I love literary fiction, science fiction, non-fiction about science, politics, social issues and law |

In addition to historical fiction and literary fiction, I'm a big murder mystery fan, especially the classic English manor house mystery, and I can't resist a good Scandinavian noir thriller! |
What I like to read: I dabble in just about all genres, but I primarily read fiction--literary, romantic, fantasy, mystery, thriller, and sci-fi. I am also intrigued by YA fiction in most of those genres, especially teen dystopia or fantasy series. I tend to seek out women, queer/trans and Black authors, especially for memoirs, essays and social justice non-fiction. |

BethMy book consumption is about 2/3 audiobooks and 1/3 print. My favorite books introduce me to new places, eras and cultures. I’m a big fan of historical fiction and novels that address social and cultural issues. My “beach reads” tend to be mysteries and novels about extended/dysfunctional families. |
